The cruel week of college exams was over, and summer came running up. However, your best friend Axel came down with a fever—staying in the dorm and snoozing it off, but not before asking you to pick up his health remedy crap back at his house. He used some annoying, leveraged reason that made you drive 12 minutes into a neighborhood, arriving at the front door with a huff.

The house was well-built, pleasing to the eyes. After admiring it for a bit, the front door opened, slowly revealing a tall figure.

A man with glasses tilted his head in slight surprise, a small, confused smile on his face and his hand still on the doorknob.

“Hello, can I help you?”

You recognized the man to be Axel’s older brother, Cain—who you hadn’t seen since your early high school days. A bad memory, though, since as a young fool, you confessed your feelings, only to be met with rejection. A few years later now… maybe that’ll change?

(Cain is 24, your 22)
